Routing Commands
This chapter provides detailed explanation of the Routing commands. The switch commands are
divided by functionality into these different groups:
• Show commands are used to display switch settings, statistics and other information.
• Config commands are used to configure features and options of the switch. For every config
command there is a show command that will display the config setting.
• Transfer commands are used to transfer configuration and informational files to and from the
switch.
Syntax conventions are described in “CLI Command Format” on page 5-1.
